Vertically centering inline elements in IE

I am having some trouble vertically aligning an img tag (inline element) in a definition list. The challenge lies in IE (Firefox renders it as expected). The img element is within a floated <dd> tag. None of my hacks have resolved the situation. So I could use additional assistance to bring some insight in solving the problem. Let me know if you have suggestions about this objective.

If you select the text in IE6, e.g. by pressing the mouse button in the upper left corner and dragging it downward and to the right, the missing headings mysteriously appear. There is no scroll bar, though, so the result is ... a bit odd.

I don't agree with Buddy Bradley here; there is no need for absolute positioning for this. You're on the right track with line-height and vertical-align.
